NBA Rankings - 21 Dec
The San Antonio Spurs nearly lost their hold on the top spot this week after losing big to the LA Clippers, but wins in Phoenix and Golden State helped them hold off the Thunder for at least another day. The two top teams face off tonight in San Antonio, and the winner will almost definitely end up at #1 tomorrow. Here are my full rankings, with each team's projected final record and playoff seeding included:
Naughty
Headlining the naughty list this week is Denver, which had 4 home games this week, including 3 in which they were favored, but ended the week with just one win, over New Orleans. The loss to Phoenix is understandable, but losing by 10 at home to the Jazz is never a good thing, and the bad week has put the Nuggets on the outside of the playoff picture.
The Chicago Bulls are here for another week, after winning just once in 5 tries this week, a one-point win over Milwaukee, the team with the worst record in the league. The Bulls are on a 3-13 skid, and with Derrick Rose out for the season, it's not going to improve, although they are still projected to finish #9 in the East at 14 games under .500.
Nice
The Charlotte Bobcats have won 3 straight games for the first time since April, and in the East, that's good enough to put the Cats in 8th place in the projected playoff picture. The last two wins came on the road against other Eastern Conference playoff teams, and although they have no chance of meeting in the playoffs, it's good for them to show that they belong in the club.
The Clippers finished off last week with an embarrassing loss to Brooklyn, but this week they were very nice, especially in a 23-point win over the #1 Spurs on Monday. They are being rewarded tonight with a game against the frozen Nuggets, but they'll have to prove themselves on Christmas with a game at Golden State against one of their toughest division foes.
